No smoking or vaping is allowed inside the building. Smoking is only allowed outside on the street and we fine 200€ for smoking on our terraces.
We love that you love it! To make sure everyone gets a chance to love us as much as you do, there is a maximum stay policy of 14 days. But don’t be a stranger, we’d love to see you again!
Sorry, as cute as they are, no pets are allowed at the hostel with the exception of guide dogs.
Absolutely! You’re very welcome to use our laundry machines with dryers, which are open from 8am to 10pm every day.
You have free storage spaces available next to your bed during your stay. After your check-out, we have limited space for storage, so it can depend on availability at that moment and it is only for the same day. The best bet? Ask at reception for more information! We’re happy to help you.
Unfortunately we have no storage place for bicycles or scooters. We do not allow to store them inside the rooms or patios. We prefer to give this space for use to our guests. Please have it in mind, we do not allow to store bicycles or e-scooters inside the property
Yes, we’d love you to stay with us! However, because of Spanish law, we do have a few rules we have to stick to:
1) All people under 18 have to be accompanied by an adult and need to bring a completed Parental Consent Form when they stay.
2) People under the age of 18 are not allowed to stay in the shared dormitories (even accompanied by adults)
3) People under the age of 18 need to book the whole room just for you and your companions as a private room.
Contact us if you have any further questions on this, we’re always happy to advise!
Sorry, we unfortunately can’t accept these types of events in our property, due to our zero-alcohol policy on-site.
